One down...

Well, the emergency is over, at least for now. We've managed to get the software to give reliable, correct results. There's still some ugliness inside which needs to be fixed, but it's working now, so I'm back to my "regular job."

Which, of course, is not exactly humdrum stuff. It's big changes and big decisions time this week, so lots of arguments around whiteboards and computer screens. On the plus side, my hypothesis of what was wrong on Friday was proven correct, so I'm now designing a long-term fix for that.

So in general, I'm feeling useful. Hopefully, I'll be able to hold onto this through the week.

Mom-in-law

My mother-in-law is in town, and so my wife and I are spending some time trotting about town with her, going out for dinners, etc. Fortunately, we get along quite well, and she's quite okay with the fact that I have to spend time here at the office, not having piled up tons of vacation time yet.

It's kind of nice to do this stuff, especially since I do have some time coming to me for working overtime last week, especially Monday. A week is a good duration... there is, after all, only so much going out that I want to do at a time.

Aikido again tonight... Friday's class went quite well, but I won't be doing much rolling over that left shoulder for a whilie, and sudden movements aren't good. Gently, gently...

Tuesday, I'll still be playing in ms_danson's game, since missing two sessions in a row would be a bit rough.
